Tips For Working out in your Hotel

The Berkley

This workout is primarily a fat burning workout because it works muscles in very different fashion (Gait, squat, lunge). Combining a quick run (adjust the speed so that it’s fast, just not brutal) with challenging moves like thrusters and plyo squats raises heart rate and helps burn fat very quickly. For a hotel workout — it’s pretty intense.

Double Trouble

When you don’t have a lot of equipment like some hotels, sometimes doing a two-move workout is great. Just pick two awesome compound movements, write your programming, and get started. This workout works legs, core, chest, shoulders, and triceps (and a little bit of back.) This workout is a fat loss workout, since it work non-analogous compound muscle groups. It also helps improve balance and stabilizers.
